# Professional Voice Cloning

> Fine-tune a highly similar, stable voice clone from a larger set of audio samples

<Note>
  Professional Voice Cloning is currently in beta and available through early access only — it's not yet available to everyone. It's only available through Portal and is not yet supported via the Voice Cloning API. If you need Professional Voice Cloning immediately, please [contact sales](https://inworld.ai/contact-sales).
</Note>

Professional Voice Cloning produces a voice clone that's more similar to the original speaker and more stable than [Instant Voice Cloning](/tts/instant-voice-cloning), in exchange for more audio and an asynchronous training step instead of an instant result.

## Create a Professional Voice Clone in Portal

<Steps titleSize="h3">
  <Step title="Choose Create Voice">

    In Portal, select **TTS Playground** from the left-hand side panel. In the TTS Playground, click **Create Voice**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select Professional Clone">

    On the Create Voice page, select **Professional Clone**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Name your voice">
    <img src="https://mintcdn.com/inworldai/h9ffqjNuODj-brRx/img/tts/professional-clone-form.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=h9ffqjNuODj-brRx&q=85&s=169381c409e7abd3afa993ba9fe86940" alt="" width="2580" height="1564" data-path="img/tts/professional-clone-form.png" />

    Enter a **Voice name**. Description and tags are optional.

    <Note>
      Only English is currently supported for Professional Voice Cloning.
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Upload audio samples and start training">
    <img src="https://mintcdn.com/inworldai/h9ffqjNuODj-brRx/img/tts/professional-clone-start-training.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=h9ffqjNuODj-brRx&q=85&s=cdee470c8371f824276750b05f52618f" alt="" width="2588" height="1732" data-path="img/tts/professional-clone-start-training.png" />

    Click **Add Audio** to upload your audio samples.

    * You can upload multiple audio files, up to a combined limit of 5GB.
    * Uploaded audio must total at least 10 minutes combined. More clean, high-quality audio generally produces a better clone.

    Enable **Remove background noise** if you wish to remove background noise from your audio. Confirm you have the rights to clone the voice, then click **Start Training**.

  <Step title="Wait for training to complete">
    <img src="https://mintcdn.com/inworldai/h9ffqjNuODj-brRx/img/tts/professional-clone-training-started.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=h9ffqjNuODj-brRx&q=85&s=700e15021a9323b137659bc7c5b533bd" alt="" width="1708" height="740" data-path="img/tts/professional-clone-training-started.png" />

    Once training starts, you can leave the page — training continues in the background and can take several minutes for longer samples.

    <img src="https://mintcdn.com/inworldai/h9ffqjNuODj-brRx/img/tts/professional-clone-voices-list.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=h9ffqjNuODj-brRx&q=85&s=ea5d345bf66b7f4ca5ae4a790bddca25" alt="" width="2730" height="786" data-path="img/tts/professional-clone-voices-list.png" />

    Training status is displayed on the Voices page, where your request appears under **Professional clone requests** along with its current status.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Use your voice from My Voices">
    <img src="https://mintcdn.com/inworldai/h9ffqjNuODj-brRx/img/tts/professional-clone-my-voices-ready.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=h9ffqjNuODj-brRx&q=85&s=6d0af5c0e0793c6fe18447327a4ee35d" alt="" width="2876" height="256" data-path="img/tts/professional-clone-my-voices-ready.png" />

    Once training finishes, the voice moves to **My voices**, ready to use in the TTS Playground or via the TTS API. To use it via the TTS API, copy the voice ID and use that value for the `voiceId` when making an API call. See our [Quickstart](/quickstart-tts) to learn how to make your first TTS API call.
